Speed Reading — Level 2 — 100 wpm 

This is the text (if you need help).

Taylor Swift has removed her album '1989' from Apple Music. She disagrees with Apple giving her music away for free. Apple Music is a new music streaming service. It starts on June 30th with a free, three-month trial. Swift says Apple should pay artists during this time. Apple Music will be $9.99 a month after the trial. Swift said Apple was greedy. She said: "We don't ask [Apple] for free iPhones. Please don't ask us to provide you with our music for [free]."

Swift wrote in a letter: "Apple Music will not be paying writers, producers, or artists for those three months." She said this was shocking, disappointing, and completely unlike Apple. She said Apple is rich, and that: "We know how…successful Apple has been and we know that this incredible company has the money to pay artists….Three months is a long time to go unpaid, and it is unfair to ask anyone to work for nothing."
